Outline of Research at the Start

本研究は、自閉症スペクトラム障害(ASD)に見られる感覚過敏/鈍麻と読字困難感の関係を明らかにするため、瞳孔反応計測を中心とした実験研究をおこなう。光に対するまぶしさを訴えるASDの瞳孔計測を行ない、ASDと自律神経系の関係および読字能力との関係を明らかにする。実験結果から、言葉にして表現しにくい視覚特性をもつASDの困難感の本質を理解・共有し、 当事者の認知特性に合わせた教育現場における合理的配慮の提案を目指す。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aims to examine the relationship between sensory hypersensitivity/hyposensitivity and reading difficulties observed in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and to investigate the utility of pupillometry as an objective evaluation method for reading difficulties caused by photophobia in ASD. Through empirical experiments conducted on a typically developing group, the study assessed the relationship between autonomic nervous function during reading and tendencies towards ASD by measuring changes in pupil diameter during reading tasks. The execution time for the reading tasks did not differ across conditions of background color and character patterns. A significant negative correlation was observed between the average pupil diameter during the task and the execution time when presenting Kanji words with a black background and white characters. The results revealed a tendency for shorter execution times with larger pupil diameters during the task.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究結果は、当初の目的であった自閉症スペクトラム障害における自律神経系と読字困難感の関係性を明らかにするには至らなかったが、瞳孔計測による自律神経系の活動傾向の評価が読字困難感の早期発見に有用である可能性を示した。本研究は、読字困難感に対する支援基盤構築には、本質の理解と客観的指標による評価法の確立の重要性を示すとともに、教育場面における独自困難感への合理的配慮の提供に向け、一定の成果をもたらすことができた。
